A Father in Naperville, Illinois Speaks Passionately About the Impact of Mask Mandates on His Child

EXCERPT:

UNKNOWN MALE: “This morning she got up before us and she started singing a song to her dolls about how it’s excited she was that kids were finally could be able to see her smile, that she was going to be able to see other kids smiles. That kids would be able to understand her and she would stop being picked on because they could not understand her through her mask, because her speech has been delayed even more than her special needs. She’s a strong girl, but when I heard her do that -- and I heard the things that she said it broke me. I will never forgive myself for not fighting more.”
